# Accessing the connector builder

## Introduction

The [Patchworks marketplace](/product-documentation/marketplace/the-patchworks-marketplace.md) includes a curated range of prebuilt connectors for you to browse, install and update. If the system that you need to integrate isn't listed, you can access the connector builder from here - or now use AI to build it for you with [Connector Builder AI](https://doc.wearepatchworks.com/product-documentation/ai/patchworks-ai-studio/platform-agents/implementation-agent#connector-builder).

## The steps

**Step 1**\
Log into Patchworks and select **connectors & instances** from the left-hand navigation menu.

**Step 2**\
Select the **add new connector** button at the top of the page:
